Spoilers Percy Jackson and the Olympians final episode

Percy almost crying asking Luke not to do this, that it wasn't him, that Cronos was messing with his head

How can you Luke? Betray my baby brother, look into those bright and lovely eyes and not give up everything? All the resentment and hatred in my heart would vanish for Percy

#well he did the same to my daughter Annabeth i shouldn't be surprised #but Chiron is right Percy would be a good ally i would burn the earth and Olympus for that child #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson #pjo series #pjo tv show #percy jackson and the olympians spoilers #pjo #Percy Jackson ep 8

Percy Jackson episode 8 ain't good either

Recently I got shouted at because I gave episode 8 of PJOTV a 4.5/10 when it’s the “best episode”. Well the entire show was a 5/10 tbh but I’ll explain why it’s not good, not as a response thread.

Mainly the climactic battle between Ares and Percy isn’t good. The choreography is mid, the cinematography too. You don’t feel how much danger Percy is in (like the books), how he doesn’t even have a millisecond to lose focus, just how much power Ares; swings have, how much he has to rely on the sea. The show has it more like Ares throws Percy around for a bit then stands completely still for a minute as Walker says his cringy dialogue then gets splashed by a bad cgi wave that does not feel powerful. It doesn’t help that all the other fights and monsters in the show lacked tension so Percy rising up to his biggest challenge after previous difficulties is lost.

Lance Reddick as Zeus is fine, he has the ability to make a bad script sound good and is the only god to exude power. But the deadline already passed and nothing happened even when we were promised the most destructive war in history.

The deeply nuanced relationship that Percy and Poseidon had is gone. Poseidon makes a dramatic appearance to save Percy and gives up his pride to surrender. The gods are petty, blue and orange moralled freaks with a nuclear bomb yet all of that is gone. Poseidon is unambiguously a great guy. That Medusa victimhood stuff feels laughable now as the gods are whitewashed to an absurd degree. The show even has Percy tell Luke “the gods are trying their best”.

Speaking of Luke, the show has barely established him as a friend. His training of Percy is relegated to a poorly placed flashback in this episode. Despite Percy knowing all the tropes and plot of TLT, he still confronts Luke alone in a forest when Luke can easily kill him with no witnesses. Luke for some reason duels him when that is out of character for him being a son of Hemes. The book has Luke explicitly state that he’s not Ares. I’m not sure why they tried to have Luke recruit Percy when he tried to have him thrown into Tarturus just a while ago. Annabeth is there too and I mean, her entire relationship with Luke has been nothing. Just Luke simping about her to Percy and I mean, we know Luke is a canonical hebephile and groomer but even the books had the grace to reveal that when Annabeth had at least gotten her menses. It’s just telling us that all of Annabeth’s vulnerability in the future about Luke will be gone because they hate black girls.

We also get a fake out reunion between Percy and Sally despite the show fleshing out their relationship more. Like it’s the entire reason we’re even on this quest and they just don’t do it.

Despite lambasting the movies for 14 years, Rick Riordan rips off Gabe’s death from there. Brava!

I don’t get what people are saying, this episode has all the problems of the previous episodes, it is not a blueprint for going forward.

Walker? Sir? Mr. Actor?

Jokes aside. That look? That anger? Percy finally having enough and being pissed off with a God who doesn’t care about his children, insulted his friends, ruined their quest and wants to start an unnecessary war where he has nothing to lose? But most importantly… Percy literally QUAKING with unchecked rage for a God who came in the way of him saving his mom?

This might be a hot take, but I actually like that Percy figured out Luke was the traitor at the last minute. There were A LOT of clues that would’ve been hard to ignore, and he ignored them for as long as he could. And it’s clear that even after accusing Luke, he’s still surprised and heartbroken at Luke’s confirmation of his suspicions. He was holding out hope, guys!!

Also, the Betrayal Scene flows better as an exchange of dialogue and a swordfight than it did, in the books, as a monologue and a scorpion sting. This also leaves a bigger impact on the viewers and characters because it’s more emotional.

#I disagree with some of the other examples of the kids immediately knowing something is a trap but THIS ISNT ONE OF THEM.#like I knew they were going to change that scene a lot because it just wouldn’t have translated well to screen.#plus Annabeth not being there in the book was a total missed opportunity.#I’m curious if anyone else has recently reread tlt and agrees with me about this #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo #percy jackson #luke castellan #pjo tv show #pjo spoilers #pjo tv series #pjo tv adaptation #pjo season 1 #pjo disney+#Pjo ep 8 #Pjo 1x08 #the prophecy comes true

the scene as a whole switching from luke being like “Man i gotta kill you sorry” to him genuinely trying to recruit him because he knows percy is mad at the gods too and then when percy realizes that there’s a Better Way that is not waging war on olympus then luke begins panicking and his mask of Cool Older Guy At Camp to this kid who might be a little in over his head and now things aren’t working out how he wanted and oh god what the hell-

no notes. perfect. charlie bushnell sat down at thanksgiving dinner and left nothing behind because he ate so hard

Just finished the show and even though I’ve read and reread and reread the books I don’t know why this never hit me before….

The only difference between Luke and Percy is that one of them managed to save their mom.
